NOT SO FOND OF CLEVELAND.

Most of the Democratic cOnven.
tons are endorsing President Cleve-
lands administration, but the en-
dorsements are so peculiar that
many of them are not worth the pa.
per they are written on. A gentle.
man from Virginia. Democrat
was telling us recently of con
gressiOnal convention which he at
tended in that state last year. \
member had drawn up resolutions
endorsing the administration, but
he found that the opposition to
them was nearly unanimous. He
beseeched his fellow partisans that
for the good of the party, # for
nothing else, they must let the en-
dorsemet 20 through. They agreed
not to vote against it, and the re.
suit was that only one man voted.
ne was the Trainer OF the resOlu-
ton, and, of course, he carried his
point. 1t was proclaimed far and
near that the convention had en-
dorsed the President and his adj
ministration.
An instance closely analogous to
this is that afforded by the recent
Democratic State Convention in
Kentucky. The convention was a
big affair. Speaker Carlisle pre-
sided, and all the warehouses OF the
party were on the platform. The
speech OF the occasion was made
by Editor Henry Watterson, of the
Courier-JOurndI. He brought all
the resources OF his exhaustless
drOllery and picturesque rhetoric in
to play, and described civil service
reform and various peculiarities OF
the administration in way that
called forth tumultuous applause,
and q great deal of it. Then, after
it all, the resolutions "endorslng
President Cleveland we're put to
vote and passed without the dem
onstration that had attended Wat
tersOn's clever speech. An inter
esting point is that the resolutions
were written by Watterson-the
same WatterSon who has given the
administration some Of its hardest
SLABS, the same WattersOn who
wrote the ingenious tariff straddle
/ in the last national Democratic
platform. Watterson in his speech
caught the real sentiments Of his
fellow Democrats, while the en-
dorsement of the administration
was simply a kind of duty which
"the good Of the party" required to
be performed.
We have read the proceedings OF
the other Democratic conventions
with considerable diligence, but IN
none of them have we found any
real enthusiasm over the present
occupant OF the White House. In
many, fights against him have been
made openly as was the case IN
Kentucky. In general the policy
towards him seems to be simply a
discreet formality, which is con
cessiOn to party at the sacrifice OF
personal opinion.
And we all know how useless
perfunctory resolutions are in the
making Of presidential boOms.-

A MOTHER AND DAUGHTER MURDERED

WHEELING, W. VA, May 10
A double murder, for purposes OF
robbery, was perpetrsted at the lit
tie village of Holidays Cove, Han
cock county, thirty miles north Of
this city, at an early hour this
morning. The victims were Mrs.
V. b. Baker and her mother, Mrs.
Drusia McWha. The skulls OF
both women we're crushed in with
heavy stones, which we're found,
covered with blood, lying on the
floor beside the bodies. Mrs. Nc.
VIVA is a widow. living with her
daughter, Mrs. Baker. Mr.. Baker
left home a few DAYS ago on bust
ness trip, and returned this morn
ing at halt-past eight o'clock. lie
at once hurried to his home in the
village, situated about two miles
from the railroad. Approaching
the house, he found everything un-
usually quiet, and on entering found
the furniture in disorder, the con-
tents of closets, drawers, etc, being
scattered over the floor. Suspect
ing something to be wrong, Mr..
Baker ran at once to his wife's
room. and there at once found his
wife and her mother lying side by
side upon the floor, covered with
blood and quite dead. The blood
upon the floor and the clothing Of
the victims indicated that the crime
had been committed about two or
three hOnrs before its discovery.
The women had evidently struggled
bravely with their murdererS.-
Their clothing was torn in many
places. The murderers had search.
ed the house thoroughly for a large
sum of money, which il was thought
Mr.. Baker always kept about tho
premises. Everything of value was
carried of. In an hour after the
discovery of the crime the whole
surrounding country was alarmed,
and squads of men on horseback
are out among the hills on both
sides of the Ohio. Tho murderers
will be lynched as soon as found.

HE WILL Be A PUOTECTIONIST.

It is Cleveland or nothing for the
Democrats in 1888, and a great many
Democrats apparently feel that It
will be nothing for them If 1t is
Cleveland. For the Republican
party there is a wider selection
from longer list of able men,
But whoever is selected. ono thing
is certain-he will be a Protection
ist, he will be nominated on a Pro
lection platform and he will be
elected TO be Protectionist presl-
dent.
This is certain. Much else, in
Guiding the candidate himself, is
doubtful, but of this there IS no
question whatever. Nor is there
any doubt that the Democratic can
didate will be a Free trader, ard,
whatever iuggle the platform may
be, his party will intend him to be
Free-trade president. All this
was never clearer than now, but 1t
will be clearer still q year hence
and there will be no room in one
PARTY for a man who does not be
lleve in Protection and no room in
the other for any but Free-traders.
This will be the sum and substance
of the whole fight. Next winter in
Congress the question of reducing
revenue can not be lodged longer,
and, when it Is met and the issue
debated. there will be left a Repub-
lican and ProtectiOnist party on
the one side and on the other a
Democratic and Free. trade party.
Therefore, we say that the Re
publican candidate, always a Pro-
tectionist on a Protection platform
in the past, will, in 1883, be that
first. foremost and everywhere, and
let no man forget it, For the first
time in political memory of men
now living such a candidate will
find the South wide open for him.
Wherever n mine has been dug and
a furnace flames, wherever the fac
tory windows glisten by day and
the smoke of the stack rises by
night, there is the Protectionist
South, and with the issue narrowed
down to the simple question, Pro
lection or Free.trade, for the infant
industries of the South, the an
swer will DO one way and in more
than one Southern state all one
way.
In such states the Republican
candidate will show Mr.. Grover
Cleveland or any other Democratic
candidate how dangerous tits to
talk Free. trade within hearing of
loom or anvil, within sight Of
chimney or mine pit.-Plilqdclpt'o

No Right 10 Ride on the Engine.

The Court of Appeals of Vir-
GINA, i'll a decision delivered in
Richmond Thursday, lays down the
principle that person cannot re-
cover damages from a railroad COM
pany while riding on its trains
without having permission from
proper officials to do so. The case
before the court was an appeal
from Pittsylvania county. In this
case Roach was injured by a rail-
road accident. The proof was that
he had at one time been a fireman
on this railroad; that on the day
in question he was riding, free of
charge, on the engine at the invi.
tatiOn OF the engineer, and that he
was there seen aud saluted by the
conductor. Roach claimed that he
did not know of any rule of the
company which positively forblds
the presence in the cab of any
outsider but tho court held that,
having been o fireman, he should
have known it, and that neither
the engineer nor the conductor had
q right to invite HIM in the cab. 1t
was held that Roach was n tres.
passer and wrongdoer, and that he
could not recover for the injuries
he sustained.

pronounced all three dead. These
were the persons who created the
trouble on the American side of the
line some weeks ago. They brought
a squad of soldiers to the American
side, and attempted to release a
man from the local officers, who
was not under arrest, but whom the
officers were taking charge of to
keep him out of trouble. The three
condemned men were held in jail at

BATTLE WITH A MAD DOC.

DIR. Hardeman, of Cumming, Ga,
is dying from the result of an en-.
counter with mad dog on We'd
nesday night. He had call into
the country, making the journey on
horseback. While on his way back
he was met by a huge mastiff be-
longing to Edward Pearson. The
dog, which was running with its
nose close to the ground, sprang
at the doctors horse, the rider be-
ing thrown to the ground. The in
furiated animal at once sprang
upon the doctor, and, finally Sc
curing hold of his hip, pulled away
vicIously, imbedding his teeth deep.

his despair, DR.. Hardeman jerked
out his pistol and began firing
The animal still chung to him, be-
ing rendered more savage by the
pistol flashes, while the doctor was
not able to get good aim until the
third shot, when, placing the muz-
zle of his revolver to the dogs head,
he sent a bullet through its brain.
The animal maintained Its grip
while writhing in its death agony,
and it was only after its death that
the doctor could free himself
Upon reaching home he was told
that the dog had gone mad during
the day. This knowledge threw
the doctor into a state Of nervous
prOstration, bordering on frenzy
His father at once set out thirty
miles for a maidstone Of alleged
wonderful properties. He rode for
twelve hours without stopping, on
IL to find on his return home that
his son had placed himself beyond
hope by branding the wounds with
a red-hOt iron. The young man
found that while bis father was
away the poison would secure such
hold that he could derive no ben
eft from the maidstone. 1t was
thus that without fllnching he APP
piled the red.hot poker to the
wounds and burned deep into the
flesh. AS a consequence, the mad
stone would not adhere, though re-
peated efforts were made to accom-
plsh that result. The unfortunate
young man is suffering terrible tor

was supposed, dead from apoplexy.
The remains we're hurriedly pre-.
pared for burial, and shipped to

hours after the supposed death the
remains arrived at Vincennes. The
baggageman who had handled the
coffin declared he had heard the
dead man kick against the box
three or four times, and that it did
not handle like dead weight
Word was sent to the chief OF police
at Cincinnati, and the information
has been t, legraphed that on the
coffin being opened the man was
living on his face; his shrond was

EARTHQUAKES TO Be INVESTIGATED.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 6.-The
United States Geological Survey has
taken immediate action for the pur.
pose of collecting reliable lnfOrma.
ton with regard to the recent earth.
Guakes in Arizona. The plan fol-
lowed is 10 send circular letters of
inquiry, with printed questions rel
alive to the exact time the shocks
were telt, their duration, and any
other particulars which will give an
idea of the intensity of the shock,
the apparent direction in which the
wave travelled, the accompanying
sounds, the effect on springs, wells,
the contour ofmountaln ranges, &c.
Great reliance has to be placed
upon the voluntary assistance of
correspondents, newspapers, &C.,
in the disturbed area, which assist
ance resulted in the case Of the
Charleston earthquake in the &C.
emulation of an immense amount
of valuable data. Naturally, the
exact time is the most difficult OBJ
servation to get, although one Of
the most important, and best re.
ports are made, as rule, by tele-
graph operators and railroad off.

to be, roughly speaking, a circle OF

the area of the Riviera earthquake
of last February.
